If he destroys the DoE, tuition rates will fall because there’s no more student loans and universities will have to compete on price

I’ll tell you what I’d do, man…

The future is even more bleak. Touch screens only, no desktops. Only tablets everywhere. Everything on the cloud, everything locked down. Sideloading is banned, jailbreaking illegal. Everything runs on iOS or Android. Gen A will love it

Sure, fix schools, too. But phones are their own specific problem and we should ban smartphones for kids under 16. They are bad for kids

Most SteamOS users aren’t interacting with a bash shell or anything though, they’re just running steam in big picture. If it’s valid to say that SteamOS introduced people to Linux because the kernel happens to be Linux, then it’s equally valid to say that about Android, which has had a much larger impact than SteamOS has

Why not just give them feature phones? Things that you can communicate with but which don’t have social media on them? If you need to access a website, just do it at home on a laptop or something. It’s important for kids to be able to experience being a kid before we thrust a digital life on them

Why not?

Yes but I don’t know if there’s anyone out there who would install SteamOS on their desktop, vs just using it on steam deck. I know people in this sub certainly would, but I don’t think normies would go out of their way to do so without official buy-in from Valve, and they got out of the steam machine business

Good. Ban them for under 16s outside of school too

Lol, obviously it’s terrible that business are pulling out of the US, and in the next few months we will begin to learn what the 1970s were like, but I’m just glad I already have mine

Rich in Canada means you can buy Tim Horton’s without even checking the prices on the menu

Good thing I got mine already!

Even with SMS, idk why people expect an immediate response. My dad texts me and if I don’t respond in an hour, he starts spamming me. I don’t think there is a single piece of technology out there where people should expect the recipient to be constantly reachable.

I don’t know why people think this is true. Just because you message me on slack doesn’t mean I’m going to see or respond to it immediately.

How many times has Lindsey Graham flip-flopped on hating trump? It’s like every other week

Thailand felt very foreign, but at the same time there would randomly be things that felt very American to me there.

No because docker is not actually a VM

Docker is not a virtual machine, it’s a fancy wrapper around chroot

You pick up languages much more easily when you live somewhere

Thailand is my backup
